Is becoming a vegetarian/vegan worth it?

I've been a vegetarian for 7 years and it's definitely been worth it. I lost 40 pounds and I feel a lot better about myself.

But you have to be extra careful about your diet. You're losing a lot of essential protein, iron, etc. when you remove meat from your diet. So you need to replace those things wisely.
